Thursday afternoon's slate of March Madness games saw a scary moment in one of the first-round games, when Virginia coach Tony Bennett fell down on the court near the end of the first half.
In video of the moment, Bennett appears to become lightheaded and slowly collapses to the court:
Bennett was helped off the court. The team later said the issue was dehydration.
Bennett did return to the court after halftime, but there was a clear difference in his coaching style. He wasn't quite as animated, and he spent much more time sitting down instead of standing up to coach:

Hopefully it's nothing more for a blip for Bennett. His team suffered no such problem: No. 1 seed Virginia crushed Hampton, 81-45.
